Can't make the date? If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Virtualization in Fedora 18. Test cases will basic virtualization workflow, some cool functionality, as well as new features introduced in Fedora 18.

Before you begin testing, there are a few known bugs that should be taken into account:

Pausing a KVM guest can crash that guest. Might be specific to guests using a QXL video device (the default created by virt-manager): bug 870811

running libvirtd inside a guest can break that guests networking. you can work around this by using 'sudo virsh net-edit default' inside the VM, and change all instances of 192.168.122 to 192.168.123 and restarting the VM: bug 811967

In Fedora 18, we are using libvirt to launch the appliance, and sVirt + SELinux to make everything much more secure. Therefore it's better (though not required) if you can run these tests with SELinux set to enforcing.

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla. If you have any questions about what component to file against,
just shout in the IRC channel and we can help you out. Same goes for any selinux alerts you might see!
